HTML header Tag
The <header> tag in HTML serves as a defining element for the header of a document or a section, encapsulating information pertinent to the title and heading of the associated content.
Typically, the <header> element houses the section’s headings (ranging from h1 to h6), logos, icons, and more. Introduced in HTML5, the <header> tag is a container tag, encompassing a starting tag, content, and an end tag.
